Hello Robert,
Thank you for contacting AVG Community support.
Can you please confirm whether you would like to disable the AVG software analyzer service or AVG AntiVirus Free product?
To disable AVG Software Analyzer, open the task manager and right click on AVG service then choose to disable it.
Thank you.

Thank you for sharing the screenshot, Robert.
We would request you to refer to this article: https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlname=Disable-AVG-Antivirus (https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlname=Disable-AVG-Antivirus) and make some necessary changes as mentioned in the article to disable AVG AntiVirus free.
You can also click the up-arrow in your system tray. The system tray is the area of your taskbar that contains the clock and sound icon. Clicking the arrow displays all hidden icons.
Right click the AVG icon. It's the yellow, blue, green, and red square icon in the system tray. This will show you the disable option.
Thank you.

I do not want to disable antivirus free. I want to disable software analyzer. When i go through the steps in your support suggestion, software analyzer is not listed anywhere.

Hello Robert, 

We are sorry to inform you that we do not have option to disable AVG Software analyzer services. If you want to disable that service, you need to disable the entire AVG program by following previously provided steps. Thank you.
